with MASSIVE skills you can fit all that without a co-proc but im not sure what else to put in the last mid or last low, maybe an overdrive and a survey scanner if it fits

1x Very fast interceptor with cloak, web and scrambler.2-3x Other stealth bomber with the same fitting as this one.

Tactics:

1, Let the ceptor find a target2, Let the ceptor go 10-20km off the target and all warp to him3, Let the ceptor scramble the target and orbit the target as close as possible ( target won't be able to web or shoot the ceptor )4, Lock target as fast as you can then use your missiles and ECM.

You don't have to be in a gang to use this, solo it's nice to but after 1 volley the enemy will just fly off....

If solo I recommend to fit a warp disruptor II inplace of the ECM to keep the target inplace ( only use this if you know sure that the enemy cant target you, so if he's jammed ).

Another fitting for if you team up with bigger ships ( like a sniper fleet ):

I have a quick question if someone could possibly answer this. I'm still a bit new to the game so i'm learning but i was wondering. When you are cloaked and you want to lock onto your target do you have to manually uncloak first then target or can you target your enemy making you uncloak automatically? Sorry if this is a noob question but i am a noob what can i say?

Only 1 bomb launcher can be fitted on a ship IIRC. so its impossible to fit 3 of them as one of your alternative fittings suggest. I don't know if you intended to say 3x cruise 1x bomb and 1x cloack but thats the fitting that you would have.

Well, you could just make all your modules stand by clicking them. Then just target the enemy and start locking it, after its locked all the modules will start automatticly.

After being uncloaked for 5 sec you can cloak again, mostly targeting takes 2-3 sec then shooting takes 1 sec and then cloak. If you get targeted while in this ship you can't cloak again. So stay out of targeting range or make sure it takes longer then 5 sec for the enemy to target you.

No, you cannot activate any modules while cloaked, even to 'cycle' them. to cycle a targetable module you activate them, then click the target crosshair on something far away, an asteroid belt for example. The Modules will not fire but will remain blinking, so they are in an active state. This cannot be done while you are cloaked, it has to be done BEFORE you cloak.

You then cloak, your active mods will still cycle, so when you drop cloak (has to be done manually) and target your intended victim the activated modules will open up as soon as the targeting cycle is done. Cycling your weapons and Ewar is common in PvP as it is faster than activating manually on the Primary target and hits that target with all your guns simultaneously. It is known as 'Alpha' strike in Eve, when people talk of Alpha in damage discussions thats what they mean.

Cloaking cuts off all active modules, MWD, Afterburner, Sensor boosters, active hardeners etc. After you have cloaked these modules will complete their current cycle and stop. Targeted mods that are active on a target, guns, missiles, remote reppers, ewar etc, will cease operating as soon as you cloak as you will lose target lock. In the case of missiles, any missiles further than 45 km rom target (dependant on skills) will impact, but will cause precisely 0 damage.

bombs are never used except to break gate camps... and you can't use them outside of 0.0 anyway. they also take a bit of skill to fit. for day to day operations ignore them.

i used to on a blockade mission not sure what level and it worked fine you just have to MWD/AB away from them and keep range whilst you kill them with cruise....works just fine

I dono, i believe struyk but at the same time mye ft says it doesnt fit.. my eft may be broken lol i dono im still confused.. because i was definitely looking forward to using this thing

Sit out at 30-40k, tgt will (Should) not be able to lock you. You will need a buddy to scram though (but then this is sposed to be a fleet bomber fit). Fit so your scrammers might have WDII and Cap Recharger II in place of Sensor booster and 1 of the Dampeners and be in at about 20Km.

I would use 2x targeting range dampening, because you wont need scan resolution if you can't target. Also, only sit at 30km when you have a tackler buddy or it won't work ( sit at 10km if you have no tackler with you ).

you do realize that bringing things online and offline take time and pratically all your cap if your not in station... like 99% of it. Its not a very viable thing to do during combat at all or even just before combat.

True, but if you need to make BM's or something it will be very helpfull. And if you need to jump trough a gatecamp you can jump in, cloak and get off fast so the inty's wont bump you.

don't know if I said this here yet or not but it applies

drop the bcu and the coprocessor and put in odi t2's. The sb's get good enough bonuses that the bcu really doesn't help that much and you will always want more speed when cloaked.

I don't know what real use you'll get out of the single multispec but if you have 1 on all your sb's and ships it probably makes a good difference. You might want to consider switching it to a sensor dampener instead as it can be more effective in more situations.

If your teaming up with an inty he will be glad if 5 people use an ECM on the enemy so he's jammed. The sb's can do the alpha damage and the inty some more dps. Don't use this ECM when your alone or your other mates don't have it, becuz then it will have no effect.

Er, so in your fleet operations when your firing bombs at the target tackled by an inty at close range... who picks up the tab on the inty pilots ship? Surely he will pop being within the bombs radius?

Only change I would make to the updated siege setup you have posted is to use 2x dampeners and 1x painter, instead of vice-versa - plus if you have the CPU to spare with skills, dropping a salvager in the extra high slot is always a nice addition

EDIT: Note that the above only works if you continue to skip out on the bomb launcher - if putting a bomb on you obviously won't have the spare high slot

If you're having fitting issues, just drop some modules from t2 to best named. It costs more for the meta 4's but you can fit it all and have all modules online.

I loaded this out with the meta 2 sensor damp and target painter i's and the tx-100 or whatever siege launchers. Alpha is more important than firing rate because you generally only get one shot if you're in a fleet. If you're km whoring (which in a big fleet is quite common), just unlink the launchers and fire at 3 ships individually.

why do you fit Target Painter II although a "phased weapon navigation Array Generation extron" has the same effect while having lower demands on cap and cpu? So you could drop your co-processor II and fit one addition ballistic control unit.
